College Courses Approved to Meet the PCA Minimum Education Requirements

Back to Agricultural Pest Control Adviser (PCA)

The Approved Courses page only includes courses from those colleges that submitted courses to DPR for review. If you attended a college, completed a course, or are planning to take a course that is not listed on the Approved Course page, please email DPR at PCAmail@cdpr.ca.gov with the college name, course title, course code number, course curriculum, number of semester/quarter units, and which core category you feel it belongs in. DPR will review the course information and get back to you with a determination or may request additional information.

The courses listed are those that DPR felt best complemented a PCA's typical scope of work and met the requirements of Section 6550 of the California Code of Regulations which describes the PCA minimum education qualifications.
